Company Profile

The client delivers simple, powerful, and affordable business management software and service solutions, which enable small and medium-sized organizations to thrive in their marketplaces. The client is a highly experienced company providing consultancy services for SAP®_Business_One, and is a global leader who enjoys trust of several high profile customers for replenishing their repertoire with requisite knowledge and methods to plan, analyze, design, integrate, configure, modify, test, troubleshoot, deploy, and manage accounting and business management systems in both goods and services industries.

Business Situation

Client required an e-commerce website. The website was about photographs which users can view and purchase online. This eCommerce website had the following features:

• Information about the company.
• Latest public news about the company and its products.
• Full product catalogue with trade discount matrix updated from the back office accounting and Sales Order Processing (SOP) system.
• Product database automatically updated by the back office product database.
• Online Retail store featuring self service account management.

Architecture

Technologies Used :- ASP.NET 2.0
Database :-SQL SERVER 2005

The Back-end is handled by using SAP Business One 2007 A.

Solution

Q3 built an e-commerce website with the following features:

• New Product Announcements: This is edited via the content administration interface, and can be updated anytime.
• Lead Item – This promotes both - product series and seasons. Seasons are controlled by a calendar system, which also uses the Jewish calendar to know when to display promotions for Hanukah and other festivals.
  • Product Catalogue - This provides the following information:
  • Product category and group
  • Product stock code (1720-1)
  • User can Order High and Low Resolution Image
  • Dimensions choice (e.g. 4 13/16 in. x 6 15/16 in.)
  • Discount % (trade only)
  • Customers Price (trade only)

Re-ordering stock typically requires companies to send a ticket return or fill-in a paper-based form and fax the filled-in form. With Grid ordering, the customer simply enters the grid code and pocket numbers in the display or their customer reference number to make a new order, which is then sent directly to the e-commerce website's Greeting's Order Processing system.

• Open Order - This feature allows users to browse through the full product catalogue, add items to shopping cart, select quantities, and place the order.
• Order Tracking - This feature allows customers to track the placement and fulfillment of orders. For additional information, the system links to the UPS tracking number facility on shipments.

Benefits

The proposed website will help client in reaching a much larger audience for selling products or services as compared to a brick & mortar business that would reach only the local community.
